Dandelion Blueberry Bars

These cookies are a "remembrance of things past." The recipe comes from the Quaker Oats test kitchen and you probably know the cookies as Berry Berry Streusel Bars. I renamed them when I realized that each time I made them I received a bouquet of dandelions or a daisy chain. Not bad for a cookie, huh? With very small changes these cookie bars can be enjoyed by vegans and the gluten intolerant. The recipe is extraordinarily easy to make and the only complaint I've ever heard is that the cookies are too crumbly. Firmly pressing down the base and crumb layer should take care of the problem. These are simple and wholesome, so get a jelly jar ready for your bouquet and that unbeatable "for you, Mommy." No tears, please.

Your photo is drool worthy. I am torn about which of your fabulous recipes too make because I LOVE LOVE them all, but I'm starting here. I offered to bring work treats this coming week, and these look perfect. Thank you for another delicious post!

This is how my terrible rhubarb bar was SUPPOSED to come out. These look great!

P.S. I swear you left a comment about my birch tree once--meant to tell you he is doing fine and also I discovered this great inflatable water donut thing to get baby trees through the hot part of summer--it waters them all day long. If I have you confused with someone else, well, oops. :)
